Picturing is the longest running Crossing Arts Alliance program and is celebrating year 13.

Space is limited for the Saturday presentations and Sunday workshop, so pre-registration and pre-payment are recommended.

The following presentations will take place from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, in Room E354 at Central Lakes College, Brainerd. Cost is $30 for adults and $15 for students.

• Guy Tal of Torrey, Utah, is renowned for both his elegant landscape images and his ability to articulate his creative approach in writing and public speaking.

• Dave Boran of Brainerd will share images and thoughts about the people and culture of the island nation of Cuba gathered during his recent weeklong trip.

• Brenda Pfeffer, Picturing Photographer of the Year, started as a photographer while attending Franklin Junior High School, which is now Franklin Arts Center.

A reception will be from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, at the Q Gallery, Franklin Arts Center, 1001 Kingwood St. #222, Brainerd, to honor exhibiting photographers (listed below) and Photographer of the Year Pfeffer.

Cost is $15, with $5 off to anyone who participates in the workshop or is a Crossing Arts or FocalPOINT member.

The workshop, Digital Processing Workshop with Guy Tal, will be from 1-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25, in Room E354 at CLC. Cost is $50.

A field trip that morning will be announced.

An exhibition will run from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20-Tuesday, Sept. 3, or by appointment at the Q Gallery at Franklin Arts Center.

Crossing Arts Alliance activities are funded, in part, by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Five Wings Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund; and grants from Brainerd Service League, Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union, and the Anderson Family Legacy Fund.

I've worked at the Brainerd Dispatch with various duties since Dec. 7, 1983. Starting off as an Ad Designer and currently Director of Audience Development. The Dispatch has been an interesting and challenging place to work. I'm fortunate to have made many friends, both co-workers and customers.
